Course Description
Thermal Engineering Courses in India have a limited appeal; the reason being that Thermal Energy has not received as much attention as it should have. Thermal means ‘Relating to or associated with heat’. Thermal is a source of energy produced through heat. Thermal energy can be derived by moving objects together quickly to conduct heat. It is alternative source and renewable source of energy. But as an engineering field it goes beyond just heat. Thermal Engineering is a discipline which deals with heating or cooling of processes, equipment, or enclosed environments. Thermal Engineering deals with the careful and purposeful selection of parts and components, with heat removal in mind. An ideal cooling design achieves the desired junction temperatures, is compact in size, low in cost, adaptable enough to fit into system designs. Thermal Engineers pay attention to every aspect of heat generation and its removal in an electronics system. They create the detailed thermal designs, create hardware selection and explain and contribute in thermal testing. Based on the analysis and tests, they make reports as needed for the particular project. They also design spacecrafts including low earth orbit missions, extra terrestrial planetary landers, GEO stationary spacecrafts, etc. Thermal engineering can be practised by Mechanical Engineers as well.
The popular specialization s of M.Tech in Thermal Engineering is given below:
• Heat Transfer and Thermal Power
• I.C. Engines
• Thermodynamics and Combustion Engineering
• Thermal Turbomachines
• Hydroturbomachines
• Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Job Prospects:
- There are lots of career scores available for graduates of this degree.The thermal engineers get the opportunity to work in almost all the sectors where the heat transfer and fluid flow is involved.Thermal engineers can be employed in public as well as private sectors.
- Thermal engineers are needed in the company which manufactures ACs, heat exchangers, refrigerators, etc. One can also work in production firms, hydro-electric plant and thermal power plants.
- After getting the doctoral degree, candidates can also enter in the research field and become a researcher. Interested candidates can also opt teaching field after completing their M.Tech. Such candidates can join reputed engineering University/institution as a professor.
- The renowned companies prefer a candidate who has an experience.Top Recruiters:The popular private companies that provide employment to biomedical engineers are as follows:
• Mahindra
• Bosch
• TATA
• Nestle
• Infosys
• Vodafone
Job Perspectives
Thermal Engineers work mainly in manufacturing firms but they can also find work easily in administrative and managerial positions in government departments or public and private sector industries or do research as well as teaching in research and teaching institutes. They can work in many industries including private or public sector industries of various types and their work varies by industry and function. Defence and railways need Thermal engineers to assist in design and maintenance of their machinery. Thermal engineers also maintain centres for oil engines, pump sets, electric motors and other industrial equipments.
